o. NJ. GALLUP, who went into insolvency
recently, has met with another severe re-
verse, his barns, lumber-sheds and one hun
bred harnesses at Victory having been
destroyed by fire May 14th. This is a
total loss, as the insurance expired only a
few weeks ago Gallup was the contractor
that finished the Lamolle Valley railroad.
He built the Hotel Champlain and for the
past three years has been extensively en-
gagged in numbering at Victory, where he
had 900 acres of land. Last winter he
contracted to haul from the woods an enor-
nous quantity of lumber for c. II. Stevens
& Co. This called for force of one hundred
horses and one hundred fifty men. The
large amount of snow that fell made team
ing almost impossible and Mr.. Gallup often
paid $40 day for having the roads cleaned
out. He was unable to carry out his con-
tract, and the men and horses had to be pro-
vided for just the same. Gallup had just
adjusted his affairs with his creditors, and
was to resume this week, when fire comes
to destroy what little he had left.

MRS. MARY A. ID. WEBER, the mother of
Mrs. John Adams, died in Petaluma, Cal,
last month She was eighty years of age.
Quite number of children and grandchil-
dren survive her in that state. - Wilbur
Adams has rented his farm for two years to
C. ingalls,, who has worked for him the last
year or two. - Mrs. Daniel Field with
her daughter Sarah, has gone TO Montpelier
to reside. Her son Orion will board with

townswoman, Mrs. Joseph Crane, has been
seriously i'll at the home of one of her
daughters in Morrisville. Her daughter
Katie, who is living in Omaha, Neb., was
sent for and is with her AT present. -
We learn that our genial old townsman,
Charles Crane of Dexter, Iowa, will likely
come East soon to be present at the gradual
ton of his two daughters from Mount Hol-
yoke Female Seminary, South Hadley,
Mass. or course he will visit the old home
here before his return, - Our venerable
townsman, Mr.. Enoch Howe, was ninety
five years old on Thursday last. Familiarity
with his remarkably preserved state of body
and mind makes it seem less wonder per-
haps, than it would otherwise do. One can
not help feeling that there are many items
of local value in the early history of our
town which could be gathered from Mr.
Howe alone, and which ought to be before
he "goes over to the majority" What
scribe will earn the gratitude of present and
future lovers of the towns childhood days
by this work? - In the past BARRIERS,
like lawyers, have Jared slim in our town.
Now one of the former class finds occupa-
ton here at the Hibbard House. -
Henry George (son of the late Reuben
George and wife find employment at the
Hubbard House. - Mrs. Ralph Ditty's

twenty-five TO thirty figs upon it. She picks
serves in cans and which are quite curious
to see, G. w. Heath of South Barre

lawyer which he was unable to decipher.
On his way to his Office he met friend
at the door of drug store. The friend,

suggested that they step inside and hand
it to the druggist without comment.
The druggist, after studying it in 81

prescription case and in short time re-
turned with bottle Of medicine duly
labeled, and bearing directions. When

Footing General Sherman.

About six miles out of Savannah, I

was SO tickled that he did not calm

Constructing a Paper Chimney.

A large factory of Breslau required
chimney fifty-four feet in height. In
stead of constructing the chimney with
bricks, as usual, large number Of solid
blocks of paper firmly compressed were
made use of. These blocks were placed
carefully one on top of the other and
joined together with special cement.
The chimney is non-inaammable, is very
elastic, and is by the nature of the ma
terial quite secure from lightning, which
SO often plays such sad havoc with the
more ordinary sort of factory chimney.

change for 1t. In reply to this request tho fol-
lowing letter was written:
II have been told, dear Herr Baer, that

for the letter has a peculiar interest, inasnuch
as 1t throws light on the great Kings stirring
youth. For q thing 80 precious what you ask
